—u/trash2burn “I do this, too, but in terms of McNuggets — do I want 500 nuggets, or do I want this sweater?” —u/rickshawrambutan “I started doing this but with Poshmark/eBay/Depop for clothes. More than likely, someone has already bought the item I want and is ready to get rid of it for way less!!” —u/spicyhandsraccoon “Agreed! My tip is to actually dedicate 30 minutes at the end of the month to look at Mint and look at your spending categories. I use Mint to input data into my own personal spreadsheet of monthly spending, and I think about how it’ll feel to update it when I make an unnecessary purchase.” —u/luckystars3 “This is such a great tip! When I feel like shopping, I go to the library; usually scratches the itch.” —u/lilacjive “I encourage myself to think of ways to leave the house without spending any money. I bike, walk, run, go to the gym (where I’m paying a monthly membership fee), go to the park (where I have an annual pass), and carry a snack and a water bottle with me. It’s a great way to think about spending time outside. I enjoy it.” —u/stalking-brad-pitt —u/lindsey-905
